Solution :
When the spacecraft is at halfway point, the distance from the Earth as well as Mars are same. We have to account the masses of the planets. The gravitational force that is exerted by the Earth is greater because of its combined mass with the space probe.
The mass of Earth is greater than the mass of Mars. Therefore, the force of Earth is more than Mars.
The energy from the sun that reaches the corn is about two billionths.
m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²
h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved = 8 m
W = Work done in lifting the object
Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence
Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator
W = m g h
inserting the values
W = (136) (9.8) (8)
W = 10662.4 J
G = 9.81 m/sec^2) g = 9.81

Answer:
<u>Inelastic collision:</u>
A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.
<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
- <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>
<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>
<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.
<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>
- <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
- <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>
In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:
<u>Given examples:</u>
- Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>
- A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision
<u>Reason:</u>
<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>
